The gap between women’s aspirations and the realities of the labour market mean there is still much to do to achieve a better future for women at work.
This year’s International Labour Conference has held a World of WorkSummit on Thursday, 15 June to discuss how to shape a better future for women at work.
A recent ILO-Gallup report, based on a survey of 142 countries and territories, shows that women want to work in paid jobs but there remains a significant gap between women’s aspirations and the labour market reality.

Woman

A woman is a femalehuman. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". "Woman" may also refer to a person's gender identity. Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause. In the context of gender identity, transgender people who are biologically determined to be male and identify as women cannot give birth. Some intersex people who identify as women cannot give birth due to either sterility or inheriting one or more Y chromosomes. In extremely rare cases, people who have Swyer syndrome can give birth with medical assistance. Throughout history women have assumed or been assigned various social roles.

Etymology

The spelling of woman in English has progressed over the past millennium from wīfmann to wīmmann to wumman, and finally, the modern spelling woman. In Old English, wīfmann meant "female human", whereas wēr meant "male human". Mann or monn had a gender-neutral meaning of "human", corresponding to Modern English "person" or "someone"; however, subsequent to the Norman Conquest, man began to be used more in reference to "male human", and by the late 13th century had begun to eclipse usage of the older term wēr. The medial labial consonants f and m in wīfmann coalesced into the modern form "woman", while the initial element, which meant "female", underwent semantic narrowing to the sense of a married woman ("wife"). It is a popular misconception that the term "woman" is etymologically connected with "womb", which is from a separate Old English word, wambe meaning "stomach" (of male or female; modern German retains the colloquial term "Wampe" from Middle High German for "potbelly"). Nevertheless, such a false derivation of "woman" has appeared in print.

International Women's Day

International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political, and social achievements. Started as a Socialistpolitical event, the holiday blended the culture of many countries, primarily in Europe, especially those in the Soviet Bloc. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. Some people celebrate the day by wearing purple ribbons.

A new report from from the ILO says gender gaps remain one of the most pressing challenges facing the world of work. Women are less likely to to participate in the labour market, less likely to find a job and when they do, less likely to find a decent job. The authors of the ILO report "WorldEmployment and SocialOutlook (WESO) – Trends for Women 2017" discussed the facts and figures behind the gaps in women's work, live from the 106th International Labour Conference.

A recent ILO-Gallup report, based on a survey of 142 countries and territories, shows that women want to work in paid jobs but there remains a significant gap between women’s aspirations and the labour market reality.

Getting Down to Business Women, Work, and the Global Economy (IMF Video)

Senegal hasn’t been ruled by France for over half a century, but its former coloniser still sets the tone here. Nowadays, that’s not only true in terms of clothing, but skin color as well. Senegalese girls want to look like Europeans. Advertisements in magazines and on billboards display light-skinned models, insisting that this is what men like. Pharmacists have come to the rescue of fashion-conscious women. They offer pills and skin-lightening creams, but rarely warn the buyers of the possible catastrophic side effects of using them. These products have long been banned worldwide, but that doesn’t stop Senegalese women bent on flaunting a lighter skin shade.
To see what sacrifices they’re willing to make for the sake of ‘beauty’ and find out more about the dangers of skin whitening, wat...

Creating Jobs for our 21st Century Workforce (Full)

Nearly 85 percent of young job seekers live in developing countries, where youth unemployment and under-employment rates are at the highest on record, and young people are more than four times as likely to be out of work compared with older workers. This gap between the global youth labor supply and actual market demand presents one of the greatest economic challenges for the next generation. How can we forge strategic links between our strongest employers, policymakers and youth-focused nonprofits to best prepare young people to take the reins in major industries and emerging fields? In regional pockets plagued by chronic youth unemployment in the United States, the Middle East and Europe, visionaries are launching smart initiatives, developing youth training programs in tandem with the n...

Election 2016 and the Global Women's Movement

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that improvements in the status of women and girls also drive the prosperity and security of families, communities, and nations. In recent years the US government has incorporated gender equality as a metric of policy development and program investment of its domestic and foreign policies. Yet despite many indicators of progress for women and girls everywhere more work remains, and strong collaborations are still needed in areas regarding women’s economic and political leadership, eliminating violence against women and girls, and supporting women-owned businesses and entrepreneurs. As the US prepares for new governance what would a change in leadership mean for women’s rights, domestically and internationally? And how can we best continue to provide ...

Senegal hasn’t been ruled by France for over half a century, but its former coloniser still sets the tone here. Nowadays, that’s not only true in terms of clothing, but skin color as well. Senegalese girls want to look like Europeans. Advertisements in magazines and on billboards display light-skinned models, insisting that this is what men like. Pharmacists have come to the rescue of fashion-conscious women. They offer pills and skin-lightening creams, but rarely warn the buyers of the possible catastrophic side effects of using them. These products have long been banned worldwide, but that doesn’t stop Senegalese women bent on flaunting a lighter skin shade.
To see what sacrifices they’re willing to make for the sake of ‘beauty’ and find out more about the dangers of skin whitening, watch Beauty and the Bleach on RTDDocumentaries.

Nearly 85 percent of young job seekers live in developing countries, where youth unemployment and under-employment rates are at the highest on record, and young people are more than four times as likely to be out of work compared with older workers. This gap between the global youth labor supply and actual market demand presents one of the greatest economic challenges for the next generation. How can we forge strategic links between our strongest employers, policymakers and youth-focused nonprofits to best prepare young people to take the reins in major industries and emerging fields? In regional pockets plagued by chronic youth unemployment in the United States, the Middle East and Europe, visionaries are launching smart initiatives, developing youth training programs in tandem with the needs of fast-growth markets- the question is: can we scale these examples to affect real change in the labor market?
Global leaders from each sector discussed workable strategies for reversing global youth unemployment trends and building new modes for job placement.

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that improvements in the status of women and girls also drive the prosperity and security of families, communities, and nations. In recent years the US government has incorporated gender equality as a metric of policy development and program investment of its domestic and foreign policies. Yet despite many indicators of progress for women and girls everywhere more work remains, and strong collaborations are still needed in areas regarding women’s economic and political leadership, eliminating violence against women and girls, and supporting women-owned businesses and entrepreneurs. As the US prepares for new governance what would a change in leadership mean for women’s rights, domestically and internationally? And how can we best continue to provide US leadership to women’s issues in the next twenty years?

The future of gender equality at work

The gap between women’s aspirations and the realities of the labour market mean there is still much to do to achieve a better future for women at work.
This year’s International Labour Conference has held a World of WorkSummit on Thursday, 15 June to discuss how to shape a better future for women at work.
A recent ILO-Gallup report, based on a survey of 142 countries and territories, shows that women want to work in paid jobs but there remains a significant gap between women’s aspirations and the labour market reality.

Creating Jobs for our 21st Century Workforce (Full)

Nearly 85 percent of young job seekers live in developing countries, where youth unemployment and under-employment rates are at the highest on record, and young people are more than four times as likely to be out of work compared with older workers. This gap between the global youth labor supply and actual market demand presents one of the greatest economic challenges for the next generation. How can we forge strategic links between our strongest employers, policymakers and youth-focused nonprofits to best prepare young people to take the reins in major industries and emerging fields? In regional pockets plagued by chronic youth unemployment in the United States, the Middle East and Europe, visionaries are launching smart initiatives, developing youth training programs in tandem with the needs of fast-growth markets- the question is: can we scale these examples to affect real change in the labor market?
Global leaders from each sector discussed workable strategies for reversing global youth unemployment trends and building new modes for job placement.
